decent stay, some drawbacks

good locationcramped roomold-fashioned breakfast
the location allowed walks along the coast.
The single room felt quite cramped. the breakfast seemed very old-fashioned. I think a better selection of fruit and breads is needed. herbal and fruit teas should be included on the room trays. they could offer coffee pods instead of instant coffee.
